Well, I'm not experienced in computer maintenance, so I hesitated to rate it as FixYa! just yet, since I will need to learn how to safely open the PC, and how to adjust the clock setup.Well, I'm not experienced in computer maintenance, so I hesitated to rate it as FixYa! just yet, since I will need to learn how to safely open the PC, and how to adjust the clock setup.

the computer is a low voltage device, there is 12volts inside the computer when its turned on. So you can't kill yourself while working on a computer. Unless it hits you on the head, which is very unlikely.

find the memory battery, should look as the picture before.

snap out the battery.

insert the new battery

Next is the clock adjustment.

When you turn the computer on, it will say somewhere on the screen to press button to enter setup or cmos. Press the button, its either f1, f2, del, etc.. it reads on the monitor.

when your on the setup you will need to find the clock adjustment, feel free to play around. If you think you did something wrong, just exit the setup and discard the changes, or reset. When you have done the correct adjustments just save and exit. the settings wont be saved automatically you need to save it on exit, so you can play around freely.

well

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

Oh I see.

unplug all the cables from the computer

there are a few screws on the cover of the case it should slide open after that

Check the batteries voltage and check to see if the battery is being supplied charge voltage when the computer is off. If both these are good then your low battery message is in error. No charge voltage would mean faulty charger and low battery voltage would mean faulty battery.

Dell claims the problem is caused by some surge suppressors - and that
you can eliminate it by removing the surge suppressor and plugging the
PC directly into the wall outlet. Call Tech Support and have them send you a battery, or look in the
system docuemtation and go to Radio Shack and get a new one if you are
in a hurry.

The battery message means you need to change the battery on the motherboard, it looks like a coin about the size of a nickel. Which fan is malfunctioning, the power supply fan, the case fan, or the processor fan?
